It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas at The Entertainment Capital of L.A. as Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal CityWalk deck the halls with a wintry calendar of festive holiday experiences and an array of delectable treats that families and friends far and wide can enjoy.
We had the opportunity to visit Universal Studios Hollywood and experience all the holiday magic.
“Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” is a must see, especially once the night falls. We suggest you get there early, because the Wizarding World will get full. Hogwarts castle transforms into a dazzling light projection spectacular and the quaint town of Hogsmeadevillage shines brightly with décor uniquely themed to each of the individual storefronts. Plus, there’s a nightly snow fall, which makes the experience much more magical. Hot Butterbeer makes its return, perfect for that chilly weather.
The mean one, the iconic, the fabuuulous, Grinch returns for GrinchMas at Universal Studios Hollywood beginning Dec. 1st.
The annual event comes to life with a towering 60- foot tall whimsical “Grinchmas” tree where Martha May Who-vier and the WhoDolls will take center stage performing energetic musical sets to usher in the Christmas season in style. The Who-lidaySingers—a hip boy-band ensemble—will perform a cappella concerts featuring a mix of Christmas favorites and pop rock.
“Grinchmas” will take place weekends on December 1-2 and 8-9, and daily from December 14 through December 30, 2018.
Over at Universal CityWalk a spectacular 40-foot tall Christmas tree will glisten with 200,000 LED icicles choreographed to the lights and sounds of the season in the 5 Towers plaza. Santa Claus will make daily appearances and offer special photo opportunities at 5 Towers.
Plus, there will be FREE concert performances at “5 Towers” and an eclectic ensemble of talented street performers will make CityWalk the ultimate L.A. holiday destination.
